Hi Guys,
Anyone got any favourite loads for 123gr Scenars in 6.5 x 47 ?
Tough to find reloading data with the exception of the Lapua website as not many of their powders are equivalent to our ADI powders here.
Cheers,
Dips
6.5 x 47 Lapua Loads
Re: 6.5 x 47 Lapua Loads
I can't help you with 123 data, just case you're interested, this load has been crazy accurate for me:
136 Scenar
Lapua Brass
40gr N550 Powder
CCI 450 small rifle magnum primers
2.755" COAL
2815fps out of DTA 26" 1:8.5 barrel
136 Scenar
Lapua Brass
40gr N550 Powder
CCI 450 small rifle magnum primers
2.755" COAL
2815fps out of DTA 26" 1:8.5 barrel

Hi Dog, thanks for that. I have managed to workout a sub 0.5moa load with 123gr Scenars. Will give the 140gr a go soon !
Re: 6.5 x 47 Lapua Loads
God I love my DTA and 6.5 x 47 Lapua is so damn accurate.
Shot 0.27moa with 35.6gr of AR2208 (varget) and 123gr Scenars.
Shot 0.3moa with 36.2gr of AR2209 and 123gr Scenars.
Will run with the AR2208 as I have a 4kg container of it which I use for my .308 as well. Such a good caliber as there is next to no recoil.
Can't wait to try it out long range 800m plus.
Anyone had any experience at long range with the 6.5x47 ?

Nice, I am looking at the 6.5 family as my next barrel.
